Makes sense, it's only reasonable to expect economy wide reduction in tech workers and positions as the global workforce recovers from the overtraining and overhiring that was the hallmark of the 2000s and 2010s. This is a good thing, society's responsibility is to make retraining easy and accessible for the millions of trained tech workers who represent the overage.
Good. They should stop frantically adding new features and tidy up some of the crap we have to use day to day.
The sad truth is, we hardly have any software engineers anymore. Trying to find one that is not a prompt monkey has become a serious challenge. Especially new "talent" is a waste of money. You wish it wasn't so, but AI is on par with engineers. Especially when those engineers just end up using LLMs. Even people who want to learn now have a poisoned well where facts are impossible to find
